query: checked/entering tone

[Doug Cooper]

[On behalf of Kristine A. Hildebrandt <khildeb at siue.edu> ]

Dear colleagues,

In the process of compiling some tone and tone-related entries for a
forthcoming dictionary, I was asked whether the 'checked/entering tone' which
is frequently discussed with respect to Chinese dialects is a concept invoked
for other languages (possibly other Sino-Tibetan, but even more, for other
languages /outside/ of the family altogether).  My basic
journal/literature/even Google searches have not been very fruitful. Can
anyone help me with this?

Thank you,
